The Borne government (French: gouvernement Borne) was the forty-third government of the French Fifth Republic, formed on 16 May 2022 and headed by Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister under President Emmanuel Macron. It served as a caretaker government in early January 2024, before Gabriel Attal was appointed prime minister by Macron.

Despite its minority status as a result of the June 2022 legislative election, the Borne government had survived multiple votes of no confidence in the National Assembly: one in July 2022 after Macron's refusal to accept the government's resignation, three in October 2022 in response to the use of constitutional article 49.3 by the government to pass a social security bill, and two in March 2023, again in response of the use of article 49.3 to pass a pension reform bill. All of them were thanks to the abstentions of MPs from The Republicans.

The Borne government was reshuffled twice, first in July 2022, second in July 2023.

It was the first French government not to formally resign after a legislative election since Georges Clemenceau's second ministry in 1919.

Amid a major political crisis, the government was dissolved following Borne's resignation in January 2024 and was succeeded by the Attal government.
